Experiences with SELENACARE period underwear
By SELENACARE Redaktion · 25 March 2022

The best-selling period pants at dm are from our brand SELENACARE. This shows us that we've been able to convince menstruating people of the benefits, and that they've had a good experience with SELENACARE period underwear. But we wanted to know more, and asked those who chose period pants for the details. In this article, three women share their experiences with SELENACARE period underwear and reveal their personal tips.
3 women and their personal experience with SELENACARE period underwear
Our three testers chose the SELENACARE period underwear Classic, Hipster and Active. The different versions of the period pants differ only visually in their cut, however – not in their functionality or the protection they offer you.
- CLASSIC: the elegant period brief with floral lace at the waistband
- ACTIVE: a modern, sporty cut without lace
- HIPSTER: a playful panty with a geometric lace waistband
But now let's hand over to our three testers Julia (26), Miriam (34) and Katharina (20) to tell you about their personal experience with Selenacare period underwear.
EXPERIENCE WITH THE SELENACARE PERIOD BRIEF CLASSIC
Julia values sustainability
26-year-old Julia places great value on sustainability in her everyday life and discovered the SELENACARE Classic period briefs at dm.

Based on the information she had found online about the subject, she was curious whether the affordable period underwear would live up to its promise. So Julia opted for the Classic version and simply took the brief home with her. "When my next period came, I was a little sceptical as I put the period brief on," Julia said. "But since it was the weekend and I didn't have to leave the house, I gave it a go and was pleasantly surprised." Her experience with SELENACARE period underwear won Julia over in every respect, as she emphasised. The wearing comfort was just as satisfying as the protection the brief offers with a normal menstrual flow. Julia has now been using the period underwear for quite some time and relies on its dependable protection for all her sporting activities too. In closing, Julia said with conviction that period underwear is, for her personally, a very good alternative to pads and tampons.
EXPERIENCE WITH THE SELENACARE PERIOD BRIEF ACTIVE
Miriam is looking for an alternative to conventional products
At 34, Miriam is a sporty, active woman who had long been looking for an alternative to conventional menstrual products. She simply finds it annoying to always have to think about keeping a sufficient supply of tampons or pads everywhere – whether at the office, at home or in her handbag. Since Miriam's flow is very heavy, especially on the first two days, and isn't always exactly on time, she needs to be well prepared.

"I came across a period pants test by chance and got curious," says Miriam. "So I read up on the different products in more detail and came to the conclusion that period underwear was exactly right for me." Shortly before her next period, Miriam bought the 3-pack of Active period briefs and was quickly won over. "The period brief looks like normal underwear and feels just the same to wear. What a great idea to combine brief and pad in one product, offering women such a practical and at the same time sustainable and affordable alternative to other menstrual products."
EXPERIENCE WITH THE SELENACARE PERIOD BRIEF HIPSTER
Katharina was bothered by visible pad wings
At 20, Katharina is the youngest of our testers. She chose the Hipster panty period brief. Katharina has been using pads since her first period, as she simply doesn't like tampons.

Although the pads she had worn so far were reliably secure, the visible wings bothered her. She doesn't trust pads without wings, though, as she always has the uncomfortable feeling that the pad might slip and something might leak. "After a lot of research online, I came across period underwear and thought, oh, this could be something for me." Just in time for her next period, Katharina bought a brief and was quickly won over. "The period brief looks like normal underwear. The lace at the waistband is really pretty and I love the hipster cut. You feel snugly wrapped up and secure."
SELENACARE period briefs lived up to our testers' expectations
Just as every woman is individual, so is her personal experience with SELENACARE period underwear. On some points, however, the women agreed. After all, they put the period briefs through their paces in every situation. They were active in them and wore them day and night. Since the period pants are made of a very soft, close-fitting material, none of the tested menstrual briefs slipped out of place during sport, whether at the gym or out jogging. At night too, each of the testers could rely on the dependability of the period panties. Only one of our testers additionally used a menstrual cup because of her very heavy flow on the first two days of her period. With that, she felt 100% secure.

These tips come from Julia, Katharina and Miriam
Although the testers were a little unsure and had reservations at first, these vanished within a very short time thanks to their personal experience with SELENACARE period underwear. With the following tips, they'd like to help you feel reliably protected during your period too
- at least 4 pairs of period pants are ideal, so you don't have to wash every day
- with a light to normal flow, one period brief lasts the whole day
- if your flow is heavier, a menstrual cup provides reliable extra protection
- you can easily wash the pants with your dark laundry
- thanks to the antibacterial protection, no odour develops at all
By the way, you don't necessarily need to rinse the menstrual pants in cold water after wearing them. The only important thing is not to put them in the laundry basket damp, as they might otherwise stain the rest of your laundry.
Our recommendation for a heavy flow
We recommend that everyone with a heavy menstrual flow combine their period briefs with a menstrual cup. You'll find detailed information on this in our guide article "Period underwear for a heavy flow".
